Another quiet, comfortable evening, low 49

It is an excellent finish to the weekend across Western Massachusetts. High temperatures reached the upper-70s today. Some fair weather cumulus clouds developed this afternoon, but these will not cause any harm. Skies stay mainly clear tonight, with overnight lows once again falling to the upper-40s across the Springfield area.

An area of high pressure maintains control of the region as we start off the workweek, but it will be starting to drift away by Tuesday. Both Monday and Tuesday will be mostly sunny, but a southerly wind will start developing behind this departing high. This will push our temperatures into the mid-80s the next two days. The forecast remains dry.

Scattered thunderstorms will move through the region on Wednesday and Thursday. Uncomfortable humidity levels will also be returning with dewpoints potentially touching 70 degrees. As of now, the best chance of thunderstorms will be late Wednesday afternoon.
